Privacy policy
Simscanner processes only the data needed to serve and improve the site.
Server access logs are retained for 90 days. A single language-preference cookie is set per visit. No personal data is sold, no behavioural profile is built across visits, no advertising trackers are loaded by default. Data subject rights under GDPR and CCPA are honoured. The full policy follows.
Data collected
Simscanner records a minimal data set per visit. Server access logs capture the requested URL, response code, user agent string, and IP address truncated to the network prefix. A single client-side preference cookie stores language and viewport choices; the cookie is set only after explicit interaction. No advertising trackers are loaded by default. No behavioural profile is built across visits. No personal data is sold or rented.
Lawful basis
Server access logs are processed under legitimate interest in operating and securing the site. The language-preference cookie is processed under explicit consent at first interaction. No data subject to GDPR Article 9 (special categories) is processed. No automated decision-making with legal effect is performed. For visitors subject to CCPA, the categories collected align with the disclosures above; no sale or share of personal information occurs.
Retention
Server access logs are retained for 90 days then deleted. Aggregate analytics (page-view counts per route, deduplicated per session) are retained for 24 months. The language-preference cookie persists for the browser session or until cleared. No long-term identifier is set. No data is exported to advertising platforms.
Your rights
Visitors have the right to request a copy of any personal data Simscanner holds about them, to request correction of inaccurate data, and to request deletion subject to retention obligations. Requests are handled within 30 days. Simscanner uses the requester's email solely to process the request and does not retain the request communications beyond what is required for audit. To exercise these rights, see the Contact section below.
Third parties
Hosting infrastructure is provided by a third party that processes server access logs on Simscanner's behalf under a data processing addendum. Font assets are served by Google Fonts; the request includes the visitor's IP address. Brand favicons are loaded from a Google favicons service. No additional third-party scripts, analytics platforms, advertising trackers, or fingerprinting services are loaded by default.
